High above the Tiburon peninsula, a glass-wrapped contemporary that looks like it is levitating over San Francisco Bay is back on the market with a $19.9 million price tag. Nearly every major room in the house is trained on a single cinematic sweep that links the Golden Gate Bridge, the San Francisco skyline, Angel Island and Mount Tamalpais in one long, uninterrupted panorama. Listing agents are betting that cantilevered engineering and a surprisingly flat stretch of lawn for a hillside property will be enough to hook high-end Bay Area buyers.
The 4,470-square-foot, four-bedroom, five-bath home at 1860 Mountain View Drive is listed for $19,995,000, according to Coldwell Banker. The listing names Alexander Fromm Lurie of City Real Estate and Joshua Deitch of Coldwell Banker as co-listing agents. The residence is arranged over two levels, built on a cantilevered steel frame that is designed to keep visible supports to a minimum and keep the horizon front and center.
A House Designed To Hover
The marketing leans hard into the levitation vibe. “Designed as a cantilevered, glass-wrapped structure, the residence appears to hover above the landscape,” a marketing email said, according to the Sacramento Bee. Five extra-tall NanaWall systems, each about 11 feet high, fold away to open the main rooms to covered terraces, blurring the line between inside and out.
Rooms, Materials And Entertaining
Inside, the finishes lean warm and tactile: book-matched olivewood paneling, Statuario marble, French limestone and white oak flooring, according to Coldwell Banker. A primary chef’s kitchen sits alongside a separate full catering kitchen, both outfitted with Miele appliances, underscoring that this place is built for serious hosting.
Outside, designers lined up an infinity-edge pool with the horizon so the water appears to drop into the Bay. Ipe decking and flamed granite terraces frame the pool and outdoor living areas. The property also manages to carve out a level lawn, which is a rarity on Tiburon’s steep hillsides.
Price History And Ownership
Public records and listing history show the home last changed hands in April 2022 for $17.5 million, making the current ask roughly a mid-teens premium, according to Redfin. The Sacramento Bee reports that county records show the property is held in a trust tied to Kurt Sturn.
Why Buyers Might Care
For buyers who collect big views the way others collect art, this place checks a very specific Marin wishlist: structural drama, walls of glass and real outdoor space that actually feels usable. Privacy, indoor-outdoor flow and room to throw large gatherings are all part of the package. The $19.9 million ask firmly plants the home in the North Bay’s ultra-luxury tier and is a reminder of just how much of a premium buyers will pay for unobstructed Bay panoramas and a flat lawn on a steep hillside lot.
